"Avatar" marketing must be worth $80M

Umm... *making* a huge investment, and *protecting* a huge
investment. When, outside of Bellevue or risk-addiction, have those
ever been divorced?

A big budget movie with a marketing campaign is a sign of terror? When
did the Jews in Hollywood become so generous?

Well, we know that Rich hasn't amounted to anything in life, because
most people with any mind toward business whatsoever know there's always
a risk vs. reward quotient.

Easy. They could show one ad for the upcoming "The Hobbit" movie a
week before it opens and it will make $1B. "Avatar" is no sure bet
and they are pulling out all the stops. I've even seen them
shoehorning it onto talk shows the way no movie has ever been. It's
not protection, it's desperation.

It's fear, and it's expected.

one, you see. I keep wondering if 3-d is a devlopment that will draw more
people to the cimema in future, and thus save the industry from the loss
coming of home movies and file sharing. But you are right about being
supscious about overmarketing.

3D is interesting, but it's "not there yet" and can't compete with a
2D image from a good projector on a good screen. You go more for the
effect (of course) than overall quality. Peter Jackson said that he
thought it made sense to go with 3D but that the image was dull, like
looking at a regular image through sunglasses. I'm sure 3D IMAX
(which I've yet to see) is pretty amazing.

The point of Avatar is that it _is_ there now, or at least it will be
in a month. But we will see...

What is really the matter? Really.

3D-Imax is indeed 'there now' with AVATAR, just as it was with
BEOWULF, and has been since POLAR EXPRESS. However, the Real-3D of
the multiplexes is, in some ways, visibly inferior to the '50s
(...even though digital-projection has its upside)..

I think it is. I resent what movies cost to see but see it as being more
worthwhile for a 3d movie mainly because I don't have the technology at home to
see it in 3d, whereas my home theatre is generally as good or better than
seeing a normal film at the movies.
